I-290 ramp reopens after van crash

NORTHBORO - Several people were injured in a crash on the ramp leading from Interstate 290 east to Solomon Pond Road. The ramp has reopened after being closed for two hours.

Authorities are reporting at least eight people were brought to area hospitals after the wreck, which occurred about 12:30 p.m. at Exit 25B, which leads to Solomon Pond Mall. The eight people were occupants of a 15-passenger van.

It appears the vehicle overturned several times before coming to a stop on its roof, more than 100 yards from the highway. Paper and other debris littered the ramp.

Ambulances from Northboro, Westboro, Worcester, Hudson and Marlboro were among those that responded to the scene.
